Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center
It should be a crime to visit Nashville and not swing by Opryland. Along with the Ryman, Opryland is probably the most “Nashville thing” in Nashville. So, why not sleep there, too? This luxury hotel also includes several well-reviewed eateries, an inside river where you can rent a boat, and even an indoor and outdoor water park. If you get a room facing the atrium, you’ll also experience adoring beautiful flowers each time you glance out the window.

But what really makes this hotel one to book is its pet-friendly policy, which means you can bring your best paw-bearer along!
